You wrote: God is going to do the separating of those that are His from those that didn't come from God and are not His. That is why in scripture it is written that in the end of the dispensation of time God will confirm that He never knew them, it is written that...
..."And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:23 KJV
Firstly what do you exactly mean with, some are from God and some are not? Do you mean that some are predestinated to believe and others no?
Back to the parable of the 10 virgins, Matthew 25:1-12. At the end of the story Jesus says to the 5 foolish virgins that He doesn't know them. But they are virgins, they were waiting for Him to come, they had light in their lamps, they had oil, maybe not much but they still had. So they are christians, aren't they? Then how come Jesus doesn't know them? Again what is the point of the parable? It is a warning to be ready at any time because when Jesus comes, whether that is the end of our lives or the day of the rapture or the very end, if we do not have sanctification in our lives we will be left out, condemned. Like any other sinner. So He says that He doesn't know us so for us to put it in our mind that the status of being a christian without sanctification will not profit us at all. We will be in this case as any other sinner that Jesus doesn't recognise them as His child. Similarly in Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus says that at the final Judgement there will be christians who had spiritual gifts in their lives but still worked iniquity so they will be considered unknown to Him and will be condemned. Like any other sinner.
Predestination is a big topic and we have had long discussions so far here on this site. Personally I come from a part of the christian world where such doctrines are foreign to christians. GBU
Mat 13:30, "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn"
When Jesus says a parable He has something to point out. Parables are not always stories where every single one detail of the parable corresponds to a real thing. Example. In the parable of the 10 virgins we(christians) consider ouselves as the virgins and this is right. But in the parable the virgins were friends and servants of the bride, but not the bride herself. But we are the bride. So aren't we the virgins? Yes we are. So why Jesus describes us as the friends of the bride and not the bride herself. Because His intention is to warn us to be ready at any time, some of the details of this parable do not have any real correspondence to the real life
So lets go to the parable of the harvest. What is the thing that Jesus wanted to point out? He wanted to point out that some people may look like tares in their lives but at a certain time they may believe and get saved. So God is not in any hury to condemn somebody but He waits until the end before separating the wheat from the tares (this is true for a single person in their lives but also for the whole world at the end). Have you ever seen a tare? If you go to field of wheat you can see some plants that are identical to wheat, you can not distinguish which is which unless you are a farmer but still it is difficult. Do you know when one can easily see which one is which? When they both grow the wheat has little seeds on it, it produces a fruit but the tares do not. So when the farmers in the old tmes cut the plants off at the end it was then easy to them to distinguish between wheat and tare. That also means that a christian has to have a fruit in their lives, if not then they are considered a tare and will be condemned at the end. John the Baptist warned the Pharisses about that.
Hi you shared a lot however I just want to first discuss (and maybe I am late on this) predestined, since I think and understand that God is all knowing. He already knows that of all who have "free choice" will choose whom they will serve that some won't choose to follow Christ Jesus. I think it comes down to the free choice of man, man gets to choose which master he (or she) wants. That being said if one is of God one will choose God, if one is not of God, then those will not choose God because they didn't come from God, since they were not of God from the beginning (as expressed in scripture). Now here's where I think it gets interesting:
..."Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn." Matthew 13:30 KJV
God is going to do the separating of those that are His from those that didn't come from God and are not His. That is why in scripture it is written that in the end of the dispensation of time God will confirm that He never knew them, it is written that...
..."And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:23 KJV
The way a believer responds to tests and trials helps the believer to know and understand that the believer belongs to God and when a believer realizes who his (or her) master is then the believer will seek God to learn the things of God, since the believer now understands that God is their Father and that they came from God. And that Jesus is the Son of God, helping believers be re-connected or reconciled to God since the fall of Adam.
"Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?" Luke 19:23 KJV
My focus is on usury, usury in the bible is negative. It was the least or a last resort for the servant to use if he did not have the knowledge, creativity, wisdom to increase the master money. The servant did not even have the capacity to increase the master money. I think why didn't he consult with the other servants that had the master's money on their plan to increase the master money or some one else, perhaps it was pride. Pride does not serve a person well. If it was pride it caused this servant's failure. It is nothing wrong with asking for help, in asking for help you might not get the help you ask for however you may learn something just from the activity of asking for help.
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
'Therefore' is conjunctive referring to the topics covered in the previous chapter, where the spirit of the covering cherub and of Christ Jesus are two laws warring in our members for dominance. Jesus explained it. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.In the latter taking the easy way meant the beaten path, well trodden by children of wrath. "Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others."(Ep.2:3). God is a Spirit whose Law is perfect. In order to fulfill them God had prepared a body, the memorial of which is the template indicating the direction the Word of God moved. It is the world that shall appear where the language spoken was faith. (He.11:3)
This faith has its own language that works out changes as the lump of leaven changing the three measures of meal. It works on the principle 'after our image and after our likeness, so how body spirit and soul communes with each other has to appear. "When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory."(Col.3:4) In the same manner the world that was made to appear, faith has to work. This part of works takes us through the way,- strait is the gate, but never mind Christ Jesus is ever present with us. it is a daily walk and we walk as we are led by the Spirit. We are free from the law of sin. We do not have to take our pulse every hour but we trust that he was begun a good work in us shall continue till the end.
Just a comment on John 3:3. The word "anothen" (ah'-noh-thehn) in grk normally means "from above". This is how a grk would understand it and this how I knew it before reading a work from a scholar/theologian on that, who explained that in anc grk it also meant "again". To understand that just follow the order: (anothen)from above-from the top-from the start/begining-all over again.
So how could we know which meaning is the proper one? From above or again? The answer lays on how Nicodemus understood it. If he understood it as "from above" he wouldn't had asked how one can enter his mother's womb and be born again, since it would had been obvious that Jesus was talking about a supernatural birth from God. But his answer didn't show something like that. So he understood it as "again", and this is most probably the proper interpretation of the grk in that verse.
The God document presents the fulness of Jesus Christ on the basis of the everlasting covenant.
Co-signatories: God and Man who shall be sent to the world as the Word become flesh.
Covenant signed by the blood of the lamb, an emblem in the will of God, as a body, the Lamb of God and to him a throne everlasting to everlasting and is called Throne of the Lamb hyphenated with the throne of God.
Thus the fulness of Jesus Christ is in terms of the blessing for every name found in the book of life or book of the Lamb.
Glory of saints redeemed from the earth are defined as the light of the Lamb.
Glory of the Law is called the brightness of his glory,(He.1:3) to which the Law of Moses is pendent. "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."(Ro.8:3-4)
Law of Moses instituted the law of sin that still works on the nation of Israel. because their heart was not right before God. The Law of the Spirit creates the sons of God and they are the called and are the elect. Ro.8:14
Correction: According to a report of 2022, The world's ten richest men more than doubled their fortunes from $700 billion to $1.5 trillion -at a rate of $15,000 per second or $1.3 billion a day- during the first two years of a pandemic that has seen the incomes of 99 percent of humanity fall and over 160 million more people forced into poverty.
Then, face to the environment extremely favorable,the pseudo messiah will make a deal with the Pope to build an universal Empire, a religious Empire,atually an anti-JESUS Empire or AntiChrist's Empire,and according Scriptures who will be the FIRST to rule this satanic Empire for 42 months is the Pope,as it is prophesied in Revelation 13:v.5.
Then will be given unto the Pope a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;and also will be given power unto him to continue with his blasphemy for forty and two months(Rev.13:5)and he will open his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name-JESUS-,and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heavenly places in Christ( Ephesians 1:3-8).
And will be given unto the Pope to make WAR with the saints-( Revelation 13:7-9 combined with Dan.7:22&25-27),and to overcome them: power will be given him over all kindreds,and tongues,and nations,all that dwell upon the earth will worship him,those whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev. 13:v.9-10 say: 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. Here is the PATIENCE AND THE FAITH OF THE SAINTS.
THE WORST OF ALL WILL COME AND IS AT DOOR
But the worst of all, as soon as ends the FIRST period of 42 months of the Antichrist's Empire,ruled by the Pope Paulus VII,afterwards will assume the RUTHLESS false messiah,and he will rule the Antichrist's Empire for 1290 days(Dan.12:v.11),then will be established the Abomination of Desolation,the end of the current Dispensation arrived.
Among evangelical people of all denominations will be divisions,they will be hated of all nations for JESUS name's sake, among the believers many will be offended and will betray one another,and will hate one another.And many false prophets shall rise in the churches and will deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.But he that shall endure unto the end,the same shall be saved.
AFTER THAT, A THIRD SCENARIO WILL TAKE PLACE IN JERUSALEM
The third scenario in Jerusalem will be of human upheaval,the environment in the holy city will be of extreme convulsion,multitudes of people and kindreds and tongues and nations will travel to Jerusalem,a strong touristic movements from all nations,mainly religious tourism from all religions and evangelical churches of all denominations,sects will travel to Jerusalem,multitudes will be circling in holy city.Even the Pope will meet the false messiah in the midst of a great human mass of religious people,a strong religious movements towards Jerusalem.
These will be the SCENARIOS in Jerusalem for 42 months(the 1st half of the last week of years,week 70th Daniel 9:27,as soon as manifest the false messiah in Israel,enthroned in Jerusalem,which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt.Thus will fulfil literally what is written in Revelation 11and13
A FOURTH TERRIBLE SCENARIO TAKE PLACE, SCENARIO OF WAR
Rev.11:2-the court which is without the temple leave out...it is given unto the Gentiles:and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
See,in paralel with the scenarios above,the true Christians will preach against these satanic movements,the environment on the earth will be a spiritual and religious War and one of the seven heads of the Beast of sea-the Papacy-and the woman which rides upon him-will be wounded to death.
Then the false messiah will make a deal with the Pope to build a religious Empire(iron mixed with clay),and he will give to the Pope his Power,and his Throne and great Authority(Rev.13:2),the deadly wound of the Papacy will be healed and all the World will be wondered after the Pope,sitting on the throne of the false messiah in the holy city.
And peoples of the earth included Jewish people,guided by the false messiah,they will worship their false messiah which gave power unto the Pope,and will worship the Pope,saying,Who is like unto the Pope?who is able to make WAR with him?
Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
Daniel 5:17 KJV
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Respond:
This pronouncement was a direct consequence of Belshazzar's refusal to honor God and his reliance on his own strength and wisdom.
At this time Genesis 11:1-11 KJV ' This time is about a mythical tower built after the Deluge in the land of Shinar (Babylonia). The Babylonians wanted to build a city and a tower that would reach thr heavens to make a name for themselves and to symbolize their power. They believed that their unity of one language and hearing one god would allow them to collaborate efficiently and accomplish anything they wanted.
Ways you can overcome today believing in yourself like king Belshazzar' loss of his kingdom and not God is by when you think you hear from God, hearing his voice speak to you check the holy bible scriptures to see if its God's word and to obey God. You can overcome yourself (sons of men) by honoring and acknowledging God not to choose the riches of the world instead choose the riches of God. Psalms 112:3 KJV.
God had blessed me believimg in God to choose the riches of God to receive and honoring, acknowledging God in my life.
Honor- The esteem due and paid to worth, high estimatation.
Ways you can honor God is to believe in God, Romans 10:9-10 . To spend time with God in prayer, and worshiping God. Live of life that honors God living righteous in God sight. Submit to God's authority.
Ways you can acknowledge God is by prayer, gratitude, worshiping God, loving others with the love of God, confession of sins to God, to be part of a holy bible believing church.
The blood of the Lamb cleanseth us from all sin. This cleansing depends on the first commandment, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." This is where the nation of Israel failed. Instead of full commitment they tried to observe the tradition of their father which meant they still were under the law of sin.
The everlasting covenant is made between God and Man and sealed by the blood of the Lam. This is what made the Lamb of God and it came from John the Baptist. The Spirit of God revealed to him. "And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him."( John 1:36-38). The Spirit of Christ adds another element cancelling the law of sin, another aspect of the blessing under the covenant: Law of the Spirit.
This Spirit is unseen as the ten stones that covered the covering cherub in his iniquity. So the beast is called the son of perdition. he is born of that spirit of pride. Recent news had the former POTUS crowing before the Penn. crowd that he was more beautiful than his political opponent. Of what spirit is that?
Economic is not an exact science. Supply meets demand is its foundation. But in market economy these never meet but determined by unseen forces. So come pandemic and from did it come, no one knows. In the post-pandemic world the super rich are 300 time richer than before. All those economic pundits have been misled and so are policy makers of nations. They have no clue. It is thus ungodly nations go by insufficient evidence pulling wool over simple souls. Yet they root for the fools who cover their real intent by glib talk. Under the light of the Lamb we have 12 foundations laid with precious stones. This is what gospel of salvation does. Glory of it was not the high priest under the Law of Moses could qiet match.
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."
Jesus as the light of the world fulfilled the law as the light of the Lamb fulfilling it in terms of the law of Moses. We shall see from the commentary on the law. "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."(Matt.22:37-40)
These two we shall consider as the two stones Urim and Thummim that the high priest carried next to his heart. "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind./ This is the first and great commandment./And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
These stones signify Eden, the mountain of God and Zion, the stone cut not with hands. In Ez.28:13 the covering cherub covered with 10 stones. "Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee." The Law consequently established the Law of sin. For this reason the red dragon in the vision is given ten horns, "and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." The same number we see in the beast as well.(Re.12:3;13:1)
Second commandment 'love thy neighbour as thyself' was fulfilled in the death of Jesus Christ on the cross."Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."( John 15:13). Consequently "blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it."(Col.4:14-17) The blood is the fulfillment of the emblem in the will of God, slain Lamb "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world./If any man have an ear, let him hear."
THE COURT WHICH IS WITHOUT THE TEMPLE IS GIVEN TO THE GENTILES
Broters, remember of this: according Revelation 11:1-2,what we can see is that the outer court is given to the gentiles.The text talks about two witnesses being able to execute severe Judgments for 42 months/1260 days, Fire will proceed out of their mouth,and will devour the enemies( Revelation 11:18).
What will be the SCENARIOS within Jerusalem in this time to come soon?In fact,It is at the door.
THE FIRST SCENARIO THAT WILL BE SEEN IN JERUSALEM
In fact the false messiah will manifest himself in the holy city in short future.The supposed messiah,called Eliyahu(??),born in Israel decades ago,already living in the holy city for decades(this detail is very important to be known to everyone here of course),this MAN as soon as he manifests himself as a messiah in the days to come, he will begin to make great signs and lying wonders.This esoteric / spiritist/kabbalistic messiah of the Jews will do great signs and wonders,even will make fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, deceiving them that dwell on the earth by the miracles which he has power to do- 2Thessalonians 2:9 combined with Revelation 13:13-14.
THEN A SECOND SCENARIO WILL BE SEEN IN JERUSALEM
All kind of comunications,the midea in general,will comment the signs and lying wonders of the false messiah and will show them to the whole world,mainly by the chanels of television.In the other hand, Ministries and Ministers of all denominations and sects,and all religious leaders of all religious system that exist,they will preach and spread at the four corners of the earth saying Christ is in Jerusalem,yes,Christ,a false Christ, not JESUS.Then the whole world will hear by/through the leaders of the evangelical Churches and non evengelic too,that he is the Christ or he is the messiah,but it is the false, he is not the true messiah-JESUS.
The false will manifest himself very soon,after will come JESUS- 2Thessalonians 2:8.Take a look.
No, that's the only word we have in English (unless notes are added to explain further). Every time you & I read this verse, we might be left wondering about Judas' repentance. But now with clarity from the Greek, we can read that verse with greater understanding & certainty of Judas' heart response to his evil act: that it wasn't a repentance as we would normally understand the word, but he was simply a sorry, ashamed man for doing what he did to the pure & holy Son of God & this type of response could never secure him, or us, salvation.
What then does such an example, as I've given here, do to our reading of the KJB? The inspiration of the KJB is certainly clear, but to our understanding from the translation work, it gives the very real possibility of misunderstanding & leading us to believe/accept something not intended by the inspired writer (in this case, Matthew). This is not the fault of the translators, but the fault of any translation work from one language to another. Is there a solution, except for the obvious that we all learn to read Hebrew, Aramaic, & Greek? Since that is not possible nor expected, brother Jesse has gone to great lengths to at least give us a few Scriptures that can be misinterpreted or misunderstood & has brought us clarification. At least on a personal level, this work of his must be greatly appreciated, which in turn helps us to read the KJB more correctly & I hope as the KJB translators would have hoped that we also do, since they weren't allowed to expand their translation with explanatory notes. Hence, some 'modern' translations try to overcome the old English & other limitations, but unfortunately, the addition or omission of certain verses/passages make their usefulness untenable (to me at least), so I stick with the KJB. Blessings.
John 2:15 - And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
And when he had made a scourge, or whip of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple. Literally in the Greek text it says He threw them out. He chased them out with this whip, and the sheep, and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and then tipped over their tables.
I don't know why but over the years I've often wondered if during some functions that go on in various churches, if the Lord were there, would He come and turnover the tables and chase everybody off?
John 2:23 - Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
In this verse, where it says "many believed in his name," in the Greek, it is literally into His name. That's the proper wording of the New Testament, not believe in Him or about Him, but into Him. It is direction. It's action. People saw the Lord perform signs and miracles and because of that they believed into His name.
John 3:3 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
The word "again" in the Greek text is literally the word above. It is not PALIN, which is the word for again. It is the word ANOTHEN, which means "from above." So, He is saying that if a person is not born from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God.
John 3:4 - Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
In the Greek text, there's a word and it is pronounced MAY, and when it is included in questions it expects the answer no! In the Greek text, on all major questions in the Bible, it also includes the answer. We don't see that in the English text very much.
Hello Momsage. I don't mean to disrupt your exchanges with brother Jesse on this important topic, but thought to just share just one example of how I read the Bible (KJB) comparing to what Jesse has taken great pains to bring to us & particularly to answer you.
I randomly selected a reference in one of his posts (at Part 24) to take as my example; and that is Matthew 27:3, "Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders". Jesse's focus was on the word 'repent'.
I thought to myself when I read the verse for myself, 'what goes through my mind (my understanding) when I read that verse; if Judas' did repent for his horrible behavior, which he cannot undo, did his repentance manage to secure salvation before he suicided?' Or, maybe God didn't accept his repentance & condemned him to hell anyway, which then causes one to wonder whether God doesn't always accept our repentance. Compare Judas' with the thief on the Cross; why was the thief forgiven & not Judas? When I read this verse (prior to Jesse's explanation), I would always wonder about Judas' eternal state. And so I bring up this verse to you (as I did to myself); how do you normally read & understand it: 'was Judas' repentance unto salvation or not'? If not 'unto salvation', then what does repentance actually mean to us when we read it in the Bible or even apply it to our own lives?
Given the word usage in Greek for 'repentance' (METANOEO or METAMELOMAI) that Jesse shared, (& his explanation I won't duplicate here), my understanding of this verse was now made very much clearer than when reading it in English. And I'm sure you would have noted this as well, for the English word 'repentance' doesn't correctly explain Judas' response to his evil act. So, were the KJB translators wrong in using 'repentance'? Onto Page 2.
John 1:41 - He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
Andrew leaves and he goes to find his brother Simon Peter. And he says, we have found the Messiah. And the word found is the word HEUREESKO which is why this section is called the EUREKA, the I found you section. And he finds his own brother, and says we found the Messiah, which is been interpreted the Christ.
John 1:47 - Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
The word guile is deceit.
John 2:6 - And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
A firkin is a skin of an animal that's been shaped to hold liquid. A firkin, or two or three firkins, there is one measure, or firkin, because that's what the Greek word says. It says measure, and one measure equals 10 gallons. So, each one carries either 20 or 30 gallons each, which means at a maximum there is 180 gallons total that these six water pots could hold.
John 2:11 - This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
The word glory is the Greek word DOKSAH, and it comes from the Hebrew word KAVODH that basically means substance.
So, the glory of God is His presence, the very substance of His person, His Spirit. Christ is manifesting that He is God in the flesh as He has manifested Himself.
John 1:18 - No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, and again the word begotten means unique. The only one who is in human form that represents God, the only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Quite a statement!
It is the relationship of the Word to the representative of God to man. First of all, nobody has ever seen God at any time. Nobody! The only one, the only unique one who has come from God, who is in the Father's bosom, another word of equality, He and the Father are one, as he's going to say in John Chapter 10 Verse 31.
He, that is Jesus Christ, He has declared God. The word for declared is EXEGESITO. That is where we get our word exegesis from. An exegete is somebody who takes something apart and declares in detail the facts about a subject.
So here are the three principles: in existence, and in equality, and in essence.
The only begotten Son Existed in the bosom of the Father.
Equality - bosom of the Father means that He is one with him.
And thirdly, Essence - God in human form.
In other words, if anybody wants to know about God, they go to Jesus Christ. He is not just a prophet. He's not just a rabbi. In the Christian faith and Biblical Christianity, He is God in the flesh, 100% God, 100% man!
John 1:23 - He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
Esaias is the Greek transliteration of the word Isaiah in Greek.
John 1:3 - All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
All things were made by him. Now the word "made" designates to us that the Greek word means to create or to come into existence. He is talking about creation, something that was not in existence before. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
John 1:13 - Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Which were born, not of blood, in fact in the Greek text that is plural, not of bloods. You cannot be born into a Christian family. You cannot be born into salvation. It is not part of a family line. Nor of the will of the flesh, human desire, nor of the will of man, and the word man in Greek denotes the husband or the head of the family.
The head of the family can't decide "Okay, all you kids are to be Christians. You are all going to be saved. So next Sunday we are all going up to the altar and you are all going to get saved." It is not the will of the husband. But notice at the end, and this goes with the first three words of the verse, which were born of God. The word "of" means "out of as a source."
Those that received Him experienced a spiritual birth that comes from God, and we get that in detail in Chapter 3 in the interview with Nicodemus.
John 1:16 - And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
In other words, we are recipients of this grace that comes from the Word. And the phrase "grace for grace" in the Greek text, it depicts like the waves of the sea.
Grace succeeding grace like the waves of the sea. God's grace just pours through one after the other. And John says of His fullness we've received and grace after grace, like the waves of the sea.
John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Notice the three words "was." As I shared with you earlier, that has to do with the continuous existence in the past. That is what the Greek word represents. And notice the three different segments. In the beginning was the word. Secondly, the word was with God. And thirdly, the word was God.
In the beginning, and literally in the Greek text, there is no definite article "the." It is just EN ARCHAE, in beginning. There's a reason for that. It is because Genesis Chapter 1 Verse 1, in the Hebrew as well as the Greek translation, it reads "In beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
There is no word "the" in Genesis 1:1 either because it was not "the beginning," it was just beginning. And in the language of both Hebrew and Greek, that is a designation of at the time of creation.
So, in beginning, that is, at Genesis 1:1, was the Word. And again, the word "was" shows continuous existence and the word "Word" is the word LOGOS.
The LOGOS, the great thinker behind the universe was already in existence at the time of physical creation. That is, the creation of physical things as we know it. He was always in existence.
Secondly, and the word was with God. The word "with" represents a Greek phrase that means face-to-face with. And it is the Greek term for equality. To be face-to-face, eye-to-eye, shows equality.
And the word was God. Interesting that some people take these phrases and try to make something out of it that actually twists it away from its original intent. It says the word was God.
Notice our three principles:
Existence - at creation the word existed already.
Equality - and the word was with God, that is face-to-face equal to God.
And thirdly, and the word was God - Essence, nature, the very nature of God Himself.
ATTENTION:Before JESUS coming,will come FIRST the false messiah( Revelation 13:11),as JESUS prophesied- John 5:43.GOD HIMSELF WILL SEND THIS STRONG DELUSION-BE CAREFUL
See,the Abomination of Desolation is linked to the last week,the last 7 years of this world of Devil in which we are living,but we are not of it,we are of the next to be established by our GOD for a millenniun,as JESUS said( Luke 20:35-36 combined with Revelation 11:15-18,among many biblical references)
The AoD has nothing to do with armed forces,but establishment of the religious Antichrist's Kingdom for a period of 7 years,the last 7 years of this current world of the Devil.Two satanic Beasts will be together to establish the satanic Kingdom of Antichrist:the Beast of sea-a Gentile Beast- Revelation 13:1-10,and the Beast of the earth- Revelation 13:11-18,a Jewish Beast,having 2 horns like a lamb,a FALSE LAMB,a FALSE MESSIAH( John 5:43-47),esoteric,kabbalistic and spiritist false messiah,AN IMPOSTOR,and he speaks as a DRAGON(Revelation13:11),and these devilish events will happen after be ELECTED the next and LAST Pope,this will not take long,understand?
The AoD will be established in the 2nd half of the last week of years by the false Jewish and esoteric and kabbalistic messiah who speaks as DRAGON( John 5:43-47 combined with Revelation 12:13-14,take a look)
He will sit on his demonic throne in Jerusalem,and exerciseth all the power of the first Beast(the Beast of sea)before him,and causes the earth(ISRAEL)and them which dwell therein to worship the first Beast(the Gentile Beast-headquater Vatican City),whose deadly wound by the Sword was(will be)healed.How?The deadly wound of the Beast of sea will be healed because the false messiah of the Jews,the DRAGON- Revelation 13:11-gives his Power,his Throne in JERUSALEM,and great AUTHORITY to the Gentile Beast of sea- Revelation 13:2(take a look),who will rule the 1st half of the last week(42 months-Re.13:5)sitting on the Throne of the false messiah in JERUSALEM
This whole discussion is really very simple, kind of like flipping a coin. It has to be heads or tails, one or the other. Heads is a book written by God with no errors. Tails is a book written by man's intellect. If we flip the coin and get tails we get a man written book and If one thing is written wrong how do we know what to believe is the truth?
You say you trust the KJB without it being inspired by the Holy Ghost and even some of the other modern bibles around. How are you able to do that?
Maybe God didn't really flood the whole world and destroy everyone except the 8 on the ark. Maybe it wasn't just 8. Maybe Noah took his favorite nephew with him even though he wasn't a godly man so the authors thought best to keep that part out of the story and maybe that nephew convinced Noah to plant the vineyard because the nephew was a drunk and he wanted his wine and maybe so on and so on and so on. I could take any part of the bible and say the writer got it wrong and decide for myself to believe what I want.
Maybe I don't have to get saved because God has such a great love for me He's going to take me to heaven and not make me suffer for my sins. There are a lot of people who actually believe this false doctrine today. But how do I know it's a false doctrine? BECAUSE THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
I really don't understand how you can think a book written by men to be trustworthy and I'm sorry you don't believe the Holy Ghost was able to write the KJV Bible.
I thought I'd mention to you that if you don't already have a data writing tool on your computer you might want to download one. There are a lot of free ones. The one I have is Libre Office Writer and it's free but very good. I type most of my posts on there first, then copy to this discussion page and submit. That way I can proof read it and know it's what I want to say. Then when I go to search for something I don't have to worry about loosing what I have already typed.
Since this site doesn't use italics, bold or a lot of caps etc. those won't transfer over too here but I find it a lot easier to write what I want to say more accurately. It has very helpful tools like spellcheck and a number count of words you've typed, etc. It is really a good data writer, especially for free. I hope this idea may help you. God Bless :)
"Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name." KJV
Yes, yes, yes. God hears our "voice" when we talk about his Goodness and Grace. It is so important that he writes it down. Amen.
that allows me to be shown to have no challenges in relations in life .

You wrote: God is going to do the separating of those that are His from those that didn't come from God and are not His. That is why in scripture it is written that in the end of the dispensation of time God will confirm that He never knew them, it is written that...
..."And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:23 KJV
Firstly what do you exactly mean with, some are from God and some are not? Do you mean that some are predestinated to believe and others no?
Back to the parable of the 10 virgins, Matthew 25:1-12. At the end of the story Jesus says to the 5 foolish virgins that He doesn't know them. But they are virgins, they were waiting for Him to come, they had light in their lamps, they had oil, maybe not much but they still had. So they are christians, aren't they? Then how come Jesus doesn't know them? Again what is the point of the parable? It is a warning to be ready at any time because when Jesus comes, whether that is the end of our lives or the day of the rapture or the very end, if we do not have sanctification in our lives we will be left out, condemned. Like any other sinner. So He says that He doesn't know us so for us to put it in our mind that the status of being a christian without sanctification will not profit us at all. We will be in this case as any other sinner that Jesus doesn't recognise them as His child. Similarly in Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus says that at the final Judgement there will be christians who had spiritual gifts in their lives but still worked iniquity so they will be considered unknown to Him and will be condemned. Like any other sinner.
Predestination is a big topic and we have had long discussions so far here on this site. Personally I come from a part of the christian world where such doctrines are foreign to christians. GBU
Mat 13:30, "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn"
When Jesus says a parable He has something to point out. Parables are not always stories where every single one detail of the parable corresponds to a real thing. Example. In the parable of the 10 virgins we(christians) consider ouselves as the virgins and this is right. But in the parable the virgins were friends and servants of the bride, but not the bride herself. But we are the bride. So aren't we the virgins? Yes we are. So why Jesus describes us as the friends of the bride and not the bride herself. Because His intention is to warn us to be ready at any time, some of the details of this parable do not have any real correspondence to the real life
So lets go to the parable of the harvest. What is the thing that Jesus wanted to point out? He wanted to point out that some people may look like tares in their lives but at a certain time they may believe and get saved. So God is not in any hury to condemn somebody but He waits until the end before separating the wheat from the tares (this is true for a single person in their lives but also for the whole world at the end). Have you ever seen a tare? If you go to field of wheat you can see some plants that are identical to wheat, you can not distinguish which is which unless you are a farmer but still it is difficult. Do you know when one can easily see which one is which? When they both grow the wheat has little seeds on it, it produces a fruit but the tares do not. So when the farmers in the old tmes cut the plants off at the end it was then easy to them to distinguish between wheat and tare. That also means that a christian has to have a fruit in their lives, if not then they are considered a tare and will be condemned at the end. John the Baptist warned the Pharisses about that.
..."Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn." Matthew 13:30 KJV
God is going to do the separating of those that are His from those that didn't come from God and are not His. That is why in scripture it is written that in the end of the dispensation of time God will confirm that He never knew them, it is written that...
..."And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:23 KJV
The way a believer responds to tests and trials helps the believer to know and understand that the believer belongs to God and when a believer realizes who his (or her) master is then the believer will seek God to learn the things of God, since the believer now understands that God is their Father and that they came from God. And that Jesus is the Son of God, helping believers be re-connected or reconciled to God since the fall of Adam.
My focus is on usury, usury in the bible is negative. It was the least or a last resort for the servant to use if he did not have the knowledge, creativity, wisdom to increase the master money. The servant did not even have the capacity to increase the master money. I think why didn't he consult with the other servants that had the master's money on their plan to increase the master money or some one else, perhaps it was pride. Pride does not serve a person well. If it was pride it caused this servant's failure. It is nothing wrong with asking for help, in asking for help you might not get the help you ask for however you may learn something just from the activity of asking for help.
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
'Therefore' is conjunctive referring to the topics covered in the previous chapter, where the spirit of the covering cherub and of Christ Jesus are two laws warring in our members for dominance. Jesus explained it. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.In the latter taking the easy way meant the beaten path, well trodden by children of wrath. "Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others."(Ep.2:3). God is a Spirit whose Law is perfect. In order to fulfill them God had prepared a body, the memorial of which is the template indicating the direction the Word of God moved. It is the world that shall appear where the language spoken was faith. (He.11:3)
This faith has its own language that works out changes as the lump of leaven changing the three measures of meal. It works on the principle 'after our image and after our likeness, so how body spirit and soul communes with each other has to appear. "When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory."(Col.3:4) In the same manner the world that was made to appear, faith has to work. This part of works takes us through the way,- strait is the gate, but never mind Christ Jesus is ever present with us. it is a daily walk and we walk as we are led by the Spirit. We are free from the law of sin. We do not have to take our pulse every hour but we trust that he was begun a good work in us shall continue till the end.
Just a comment on John 3:3. The word "anothen" (ah'-noh-thehn) in grk normally means "from above". This is how a grk would understand it and this how I knew it before reading a work from a scholar/theologian on that, who explained that in anc grk it also meant "again". To understand that just follow the order: (anothen)from above-from the top-from the start/begining-all over again.
So how could we know which meaning is the proper one? From above or again? The answer lays on how Nicodemus understood it. If he understood it as "from above" he wouldn't had asked how one can enter his mother's womb and be born again, since it would had been obvious that Jesus was talking about a supernatural birth from God. But his answer didn't show something like that. So he understood it as "again", and this is most probably the proper interpretation of the grk in that verse.
The God document presents the fulness of Jesus Christ on the basis of the everlasting covenant.
Co-signatories: God and Man who shall be sent to the world as the Word become flesh.
Covenant signed by the blood of the lamb, an emblem in the will of God, as a body, the Lamb of God and to him a throne everlasting to everlasting and is called Throne of the Lamb hyphenated with the throne of God.
Thus the fulness of Jesus Christ is in terms of the blessing for every name found in the book of life or book of the Lamb.
Glory of saints redeemed from the earth are defined as the light of the Lamb.
Glory of the Law is called the brightness of his glory,(He.1:3) to which the Law of Moses is pendent. "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."(Ro.8:3-4)
Law of Moses instituted the law of sin that still works on the nation of Israel. because their heart was not right before God. The Law of the Spirit creates the sons of God and they are the called and are the elect. Ro.8:14
Then, face to the environment extremely favorable,the pseudo messiah will make a deal with the Pope to build an universal Empire, a religious Empire,atually an anti-JESUS Empire or AntiChrist's Empire,and according Scriptures who will be the FIRST to rule this satanic Empire for 42 months is the Pope,as it is prophesied in Revelation 13:v.5.
Then will be given unto the Pope a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;and also will be given power unto him to continue with his blasphemy for forty and two months(Rev.13:5)and he will open his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name-JESUS-,and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heavenly places in Christ( Ephesians 1:3-8).
And will be given unto the Pope to make WAR with the saints-( Revelation 13:7-9 combined with Dan.7:22&25-27),and to overcome them: power will be given him over all kindreds,and tongues,and nations,all that dwell upon the earth will worship him,those whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev. 13:v.9-10 say: 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. Here is the PATIENCE AND THE FAITH OF THE SAINTS.
THE WORST OF ALL WILL COME AND IS AT DOOR
But the worst of all, as soon as ends the FIRST period of 42 months of the Antichrist's Empire,ruled by the Pope Paulus VII,afterwards will assume the RUTHLESS false messiah,and he will rule the Antichrist's Empire for 1290 days(Dan.12:v.11),then will be established the Abomination of Desolation,the end of the current Dispensation arrived.
Among evangelical people of all denominations will be divisions,they will be hated of all nations for JESUS name's sake, among the believers many will be offended and will betray one another,and will hate one another.And many false prophets shall rise in the churches and will deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.But he that shall endure unto the end,the same shall be saved.
The third scenario in Jerusalem will be of human upheaval,the environment in the holy city will be of extreme convulsion,multitudes of people and kindreds and tongues and nations will travel to Jerusalem,a strong touristic movements from all nations,mainly religious tourism from all religions and evangelical churches of all denominations,sects will travel to Jerusalem,multitudes will be circling in holy city.Even the Pope will meet the false messiah in the midst of a great human mass of religious people,a strong religious movements towards Jerusalem.
These will be the SCENARIOS in Jerusalem for 42 months(the 1st half of the last week of years,week 70th Daniel 9:27,as soon as manifest the false messiah in Israel,enthroned in Jerusalem,which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt.Thus will fulfil literally what is written in Revelation 11and13
A FOURTH TERRIBLE SCENARIO TAKE PLACE, SCENARIO OF WAR
Rev.11:2-the court which is without the temple leave out...it is given unto the Gentiles:and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
See,in paralel with the scenarios above,the true Christians will preach against these satanic movements,the environment on the earth will be a spiritual and religious War and one of the seven heads of the Beast of sea-the Papacy-and the woman which rides upon him-will be wounded to death.
Then the false messiah will make a deal with the Pope to build a religious Empire(iron mixed with clay),and he will give to the Pope his Power,and his Throne and great Authority(Rev.13:2),the deadly wound of the Papacy will be healed and all the World will be wondered after the Pope,sitting on the throne of the false messiah in the holy city.
And peoples of the earth included Jewish people,guided by the false messiah,they will worship their false messiah which gave power unto the Pope,and will worship the Pope,saying,Who is like unto the Pope?who is able to make WAR with him?
Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
Daniel 5:17 KJV
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Respond:
This pronouncement was a direct consequence of Belshazzar's refusal to honor God and his reliance on his own strength and wisdom.
At this time Genesis 11:1-11 KJV ' This time is about a mythical tower built after the Deluge in the land of Shinar (Babylonia). The Babylonians wanted to build a city and a tower that would reach thr heavens to make a name for themselves and to symbolize their power. They believed that their unity of one language and hearing one god would allow them to collaborate efficiently and accomplish anything they wanted.
Ways you can overcome today believing in yourself like king Belshazzar' loss of his kingdom and not God is by when you think you hear from God, hearing his voice speak to you check the holy bible scriptures to see if its God's word and to obey God. You can overcome yourself (sons of men) by honoring and acknowledging God not to choose the riches of the world instead choose the riches of God. Psalms 112:3 KJV.
God had blessed me believimg in God to choose the riches of God to receive and honoring, acknowledging God in my life.
Honor- The esteem due and paid to worth, high estimatation.
Ways you can honor God is to believe in God, Romans 10:9-10 . To spend time with God in prayer, and worshiping God. Live of life that honors God living righteous in God sight. Submit to God's authority.
Ways you can acknowledge God is by prayer, gratitude, worshiping God, loving others with the love of God, confession of sins to God, to be part of a holy bible believing church.

The blood of the Lamb cleanseth us from all sin. This cleansing depends on the first commandment, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." This is where the nation of Israel failed. Instead of full commitment they tried to observe the tradition of their father which meant they still were under the law of sin.
The everlasting covenant is made between God and Man and sealed by the blood of the Lam. This is what made the Lamb of God and it came from John the Baptist. The Spirit of God revealed to him. "And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him."( John 1:36-38). The Spirit of Christ adds another element cancelling the law of sin, another aspect of the blessing under the covenant: Law of the Spirit.
This Spirit is unseen as the ten stones that covered the covering cherub in his iniquity. So the beast is called the son of perdition. he is born of that spirit of pride. Recent news had the former POTUS crowing before the Penn. crowd that he was more beautiful than his political opponent. Of what spirit is that?
Economic is not an exact science. Supply meets demand is its foundation. But in market economy these never meet but determined by unseen forces. So come pandemic and from did it come, no one knows. In the post-pandemic world the super rich are 300 time richer than before. All those economic pundits have been misled and so are policy makers of nations. They have no clue. It is thus ungodly nations go by insufficient evidence pulling wool over simple souls. Yet they root for the fools who cover their real intent by glib talk. Under the light of the Lamb we have 12 foundations laid with precious stones. This is what gospel of salvation does. Glory of it was not the high priest under the Law of Moses could qiet match.
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."
Jesus as the light of the world fulfilled the law as the light of the Lamb fulfilling it in terms of the law of Moses. We shall see from the commentary on the law. "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."(Matt.22:37-40)
These two we shall consider as the two stones Urim and Thummim that the high priest carried next to his heart. "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind./ This is the first and great commandment./And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
These stones signify Eden, the mountain of God and Zion, the stone cut not with hands. In Ez.28:13 the covering cherub covered with 10 stones. "Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee." The Law consequently established the Law of sin. For this reason the red dragon in the vision is given ten horns, "and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." The same number we see in the beast as well.(Re.12:3;13:1)
Second commandment 'love thy neighbour as thyself' was fulfilled in the death of Jesus Christ on the cross."Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."( John 15:13). Consequently "blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it."(Col.4:14-17) The blood is the fulfillment of the emblem in the will of God, slain Lamb "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world./If any man have an ear, let him hear."
Broters, remember of this: according Revelation 11:1-2,what we can see is that the outer court is given to the gentiles.The text talks about two witnesses being able to execute severe Judgments for 42 months/1260 days, Fire will proceed out of their mouth,and will devour the enemies( Revelation 11:18).
What will be the SCENARIOS within Jerusalem in this time to come soon?In fact,It is at the door.
THE FIRST SCENARIO THAT WILL BE SEEN IN JERUSALEM
In fact the false messiah will manifest himself in the holy city in short future.The supposed messiah,called Eliyahu(??),born in Israel decades ago,already living in the holy city for decades(this detail is very important to be known to everyone here of course),this MAN as soon as he manifests himself as a messiah in the days to come, he will begin to make great signs and lying wonders.This esoteric / spiritist/kabbalistic messiah of the Jews will do great signs and wonders,even will make fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, deceiving them that dwell on the earth by the miracles which he has power to do- 2Thessalonians 2:9 combined with Revelation 13:13-14.
THEN A SECOND SCENARIO WILL BE SEEN IN JERUSALEM
All kind of comunications,the midea in general,will comment the signs and lying wonders of the false messiah and will show them to the whole world,mainly by the chanels of television.In the other hand, Ministries and Ministers of all denominations and sects,and all religious leaders of all religious system that exist,they will preach and spread at the four corners of the earth saying Christ is in Jerusalem,yes,Christ,a false Christ, not JESUS.Then the whole world will hear by/through the leaders of the evangelical Churches and non evengelic too,that he is the Christ or he is the messiah,but it is the false, he is not the true messiah-JESUS.
The false will manifest himself very soon,after will come JESUS- 2Thessalonians 2:8.Take a look.
No, that's the only word we have in English (unless notes are added to explain further). Every time you & I read this verse, we might be left wondering about Judas' repentance. But now with clarity from the Greek, we can read that verse with greater understanding & certainty of Judas' heart response to his evil act: that it wasn't a repentance as we would normally understand the word, but he was simply a sorry, ashamed man for doing what he did to the pure & holy Son of God & this type of response could never secure him, or us, salvation.
What then does such an example, as I've given here, do to our reading of the KJB? The inspiration of the KJB is certainly clear, but to our understanding from the translation work, it gives the very real possibility of misunderstanding & leading us to believe/accept something not intended by the inspired writer (in this case, Matthew). This is not the fault of the translators, but the fault of any translation work from one language to another. Is there a solution, except for the obvious that we all learn to read Hebrew, Aramaic, & Greek? Since that is not possible nor expected, brother Jesse has gone to great lengths to at least give us a few Scriptures that can be misinterpreted or misunderstood & has brought us clarification. At least on a personal level, this work of his must be greatly appreciated, which in turn helps us to read the KJB more correctly & I hope as the KJB translators would have hoped that we also do, since they weren't allowed to expand their translation with explanatory notes. Hence, some 'modern' translations try to overcome the old English & other limitations, but unfortunately, the addition or omission of certain verses/passages make their usefulness untenable (to me at least), so I stick with the KJB. Blessings.
John 2:15 - And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
And when he had made a scourge, or whip of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple. Literally in the Greek text it says He threw them out. He chased them out with this whip, and the sheep, and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and then tipped over their tables.
I don't know why but over the years I've often wondered if during some functions that go on in various churches, if the Lord were there, would He come and turnover the tables and chase everybody off?
John 2:23 - Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
In this verse, where it says "many believed in his name," in the Greek, it is literally into His name. That's the proper wording of the New Testament, not believe in Him or about Him, but into Him. It is direction. It's action. People saw the Lord perform signs and miracles and because of that they believed into His name.
John 3:3 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
The word "again" in the Greek text is literally the word above. It is not PALIN, which is the word for again. It is the word ANOTHEN, which means "from above." So, He is saying that if a person is not born from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God.
John 3:4 - Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
In the Greek text, there's a word and it is pronounced MAY, and when it is included in questions it expects the answer no! In the Greek text, on all major questions in the Bible, it also includes the answer. We don't see that in the English text very much.
Hello Momsage. I don't mean to disrupt your exchanges with brother Jesse on this important topic, but thought to just share just one example of how I read the Bible (KJB) comparing to what Jesse has taken great pains to bring to us & particularly to answer you.
I randomly selected a reference in one of his posts (at Part 24) to take as my example; and that is Matthew 27:3, "Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders". Jesse's focus was on the word 'repent'.
I thought to myself when I read the verse for myself, 'what goes through my mind (my understanding) when I read that verse; if Judas' did repent for his horrible behavior, which he cannot undo, did his repentance manage to secure salvation before he suicided?' Or, maybe God didn't accept his repentance & condemned him to hell anyway, which then causes one to wonder whether God doesn't always accept our repentance. Compare Judas' with the thief on the Cross; why was the thief forgiven & not Judas? When I read this verse (prior to Jesse's explanation), I would always wonder about Judas' eternal state. And so I bring up this verse to you (as I did to myself); how do you normally read & understand it: 'was Judas' repentance unto salvation or not'? If not 'unto salvation', then what does repentance actually mean to us when we read it in the Bible or even apply it to our own lives?
Given the word usage in Greek for 'repentance' (METANOEO or METAMELOMAI) that Jesse shared, (& his explanation I won't duplicate here), my understanding of this verse was now made very much clearer than when reading it in English. And I'm sure you would have noted this as well, for the English word 'repentance' doesn't correctly explain Judas' response to his evil act. So, were the KJB translators wrong in using 'repentance'? Onto Page 2.
John 1:41 - He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
Andrew leaves and he goes to find his brother Simon Peter. And he says, we have found the Messiah. And the word found is the word HEUREESKO which is why this section is called the EUREKA, the I found you section. And he finds his own brother, and says we found the Messiah, which is been interpreted the Christ.
John 1:47 - Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
The word guile is deceit.
John 2:6 - And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
A firkin is a skin of an animal that's been shaped to hold liquid. A firkin, or two or three firkins, there is one measure, or firkin, because that's what the Greek word says. It says measure, and one measure equals 10 gallons. So, each one carries either 20 or 30 gallons each, which means at a maximum there is 180 gallons total that these six water pots could hold.
John 2:11 - This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
The word glory is the Greek word DOKSAH, and it comes from the Hebrew word KAVODH that basically means substance.
So, the glory of God is His presence, the very substance of His person, His Spirit. Christ is manifesting that He is God in the flesh as He has manifested Himself.
John 1:18 - No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, and again the word begotten means unique. The only one who is in human form that represents God, the only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Quite a statement!
It is the relationship of the Word to the representative of God to man. First of all, nobody has ever seen God at any time. Nobody! The only one, the only unique one who has come from God, who is in the Father's bosom, another word of equality, He and the Father are one, as he's going to say in John Chapter 10 Verse 31.
He, that is Jesus Christ, He has declared God. The word for declared is EXEGESITO. That is where we get our word exegesis from. An exegete is somebody who takes something apart and declares in detail the facts about a subject.
So here are the three principles: in existence, and in equality, and in essence.
The only begotten Son Existed in the bosom of the Father.
Equality - bosom of the Father means that He is one with him.
And thirdly, Essence - God in human form.
In other words, if anybody wants to know about God, they go to Jesus Christ. He is not just a prophet. He's not just a rabbi. In the Christian faith and Biblical Christianity, He is God in the flesh, 100% God, 100% man!
John 1:23 - He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
Esaias is the Greek transliteration of the word Isaiah in Greek.
John 1:3 - All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
All things were made by him. Now the word "made" designates to us that the Greek word means to create or to come into existence. He is talking about creation, something that was not in existence before. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
John 1:13 - Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Which were born, not of blood, in fact in the Greek text that is plural, not of bloods. You cannot be born into a Christian family. You cannot be born into salvation. It is not part of a family line. Nor of the will of the flesh, human desire, nor of the will of man, and the word man in Greek denotes the husband or the head of the family.
The head of the family can't decide "Okay, all you kids are to be Christians. You are all going to be saved. So next Sunday we are all going up to the altar and you are all going to get saved." It is not the will of the husband. But notice at the end, and this goes with the first three words of the verse, which were born of God. The word "of" means "out of as a source."
Those that received Him experienced a spiritual birth that comes from God, and we get that in detail in Chapter 3 in the interview with Nicodemus.
John 1:16 - And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
In other words, we are recipients of this grace that comes from the Word. And the phrase "grace for grace" in the Greek text, it depicts like the waves of the sea.
Grace succeeding grace like the waves of the sea. God's grace just pours through one after the other. And John says of His fullness we've received and grace after grace, like the waves of the sea.
John (Part 1):
John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Notice the three words "was." As I shared with you earlier, that has to do with the continuous existence in the past. That is what the Greek word represents. And notice the three different segments. In the beginning was the word. Secondly, the word was with God. And thirdly, the word was God.
In the beginning, and literally in the Greek text, there is no definite article "the." It is just EN ARCHAE, in beginning. There's a reason for that. It is because Genesis Chapter 1 Verse 1, in the Hebrew as well as the Greek translation, it reads "In beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
There is no word "the" in Genesis 1:1 either because it was not "the beginning," it was just beginning. And in the language of both Hebrew and Greek, that is a designation of at the time of creation.
So, in beginning, that is, at Genesis 1:1, was the Word. And again, the word "was" shows continuous existence and the word "Word" is the word LOGOS.
The LOGOS, the great thinker behind the universe was already in existence at the time of physical creation. That is, the creation of physical things as we know it. He was always in existence.
Secondly, and the word was with God. The word "with" represents a Greek phrase that means face-to-face with. And it is the Greek term for equality. To be face-to-face, eye-to-eye, shows equality.
And the word was God. Interesting that some people take these phrases and try to make something out of it that actually twists it away from its original intent. It says the word was God.
Notice our three principles:
Existence - at creation the word existed already.
Equality - and the word was with God, that is face-to-face equal to God.
And thirdly, and the word was God - Essence, nature, the very nature of God Himself.
See,the Abomination of Desolation is linked to the last week,the last 7 years of this world of Devil in which we are living,but we are not of it,we are of the next to be established by our GOD for a millenniun,as JESUS said( Luke 20:35-36 combined with Revelation 11:15-18,among many biblical references)
The AoD has nothing to do with armed forces,but establishment of the religious Antichrist's Kingdom for a period of 7 years,the last 7 years of this current world of the Devil.Two satanic Beasts will be together to establish the satanic Kingdom of Antichrist:the Beast of sea-a Gentile Beast- Revelation 13:1-10,and the Beast of the earth- Revelation 13:11-18,a Jewish Beast,having 2 horns like a lamb,a FALSE LAMB,a FALSE MESSIAH( John 5:43-47),esoteric,kabbalistic and spiritist false messiah,AN IMPOSTOR,and he speaks as a DRAGON(Revelation13:11),and these devilish events will happen after be ELECTED the next and LAST Pope,this will not take long,understand?
The AoD will be established in the 2nd half of the last week of years by the false Jewish and esoteric and kabbalistic messiah who speaks as DRAGON( John 5:43-47 combined with Revelation 12:13-14,take a look)
He will sit on his demonic throne in Jerusalem,and exerciseth all the power of the first Beast(the Beast of sea)before him,and causes the earth(ISRAEL)and them which dwell therein to worship the first Beast(the Gentile Beast-headquater Vatican City),whose deadly wound by the Sword was(will be)healed.How?The deadly wound of the Beast of sea will be healed because the false messiah of the Jews,the DRAGON- Revelation 13:11-gives his Power,his Throne in JERUSALEM,and great AUTHORITY to the Gentile Beast of sea- Revelation 13:2(take a look),who will rule the 1st half of the last week(42 months-Re.13:5)sitting on the Throne of the false messiah in JERUSALEM
This whole discussion is really very simple, kind of like flipping a coin. It has to be heads or tails, one or the other. Heads is a book written by God with no errors. Tails is a book written by man's intellect. If we flip the coin and get tails we get a man written book and If one thing is written wrong how do we know what to believe is the truth?
You say you trust the KJB without it being inspired by the Holy Ghost and even some of the other modern bibles around. How are you able to do that?
Maybe God didn't really flood the whole world and destroy everyone except the 8 on the ark. Maybe it wasn't just 8. Maybe Noah took his favorite nephew with him even though he wasn't a godly man so the authors thought best to keep that part out of the story and maybe that nephew convinced Noah to plant the vineyard because the nephew was a drunk and he wanted his wine and maybe so on and so on and so on. I could take any part of the bible and say the writer got it wrong and decide for myself to believe what I want.
Maybe I don't have to get saved because God has such a great love for me He's going to take me to heaven and not make me suffer for my sins. There are a lot of people who actually believe this false doctrine today. But how do I know it's a false doctrine? BECAUSE THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
I really don't understand how you can think a book written by men to be trustworthy and I'm sorry you don't believe the Holy Ghost was able to write the KJV Bible.
God Bless :)
Good Post.
I thought I'd mention to you that if you don't already have a data writing tool on your computer you might want to download one. There are a lot of free ones. The one I have is Libre Office Writer and it's free but very good. I type most of my posts on there first, then copy to this discussion page and submit. That way I can proof read it and know it's what I want to say. Then when I go to search for something I don't have to worry about loosing what I have already typed.
Since this site doesn't use italics, bold or a lot of caps etc. those won't transfer over too here but I find it a lot easier to write what I want to say more accurately. It has very helpful tools like spellcheck and a number count of words you've typed, etc. It is really a good data writer, especially for free. I hope this idea may help you. God Bless :)
I found that scripture in Malachi 3:16.
a few weeks ago. I love it.
Thanks for posting it.
Malachi 3:16
"Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name." KJV
Yes, yes, yes. God hears our "voice" when we talk about his Goodness and Grace. It is so important that he writes it down. Amen.
